Shopping-cart cleaning is a high-volume service that depends on staging, cart count, soil level, cart materials, customer traffic, drying space, and the store's ability to release batches for service. A repeatable process is more important than treating a few carts while the remaining fleet stays in circulation.
The approved scope can include removal of loose debris, surface-compatible washing, targeted residue treatment, controlled rinsing, drying, and return to a designated area. Child seats, wheels, bearings, handles, signage, electronics, and damaged components require appropriate limits.
Washing is not automatically sanitizing, disinfecting, mechanical cart repair, wheel replacement, adhesive removal, hazardous cleanup, or removal of every aged stain. Any health-related treatment claim must be specifically defined and supported by the agreed process.
